Family Friend

Chapter 21

Arriving at the dorm building, I released Marks hand, and Kieren woke up. As everyone filed out, flashes of cameras blinded me, and I blinked quickly while looking down. Noting the fact everyone was moving ahead quickly, and not me nor Kieren, I took her arm and started catching up to the others as we entered the building. Once inside, and in the stairwell, away from cameras Jackson started down the stairs towrds us.

"Jackson, stop," JYP called. Jackson turned to him, and they started speaking, but in Korean. No idea what they were talking about, I tried to calm down Kieren, who was slowly getting her breathing back to normal, and watched as JYP motioned to secruity cameras.

"Come on," Mark called, gaining our attention. Motioning his head up the stairs, we started climbing until we came to the 4th floor. "Our dorm is right here, and yours is down there." Pointing at their dorm room, and then at ours we nodded.

"We have scheduling right now," Bam stated, shrugging. "Sorry, but we'll visit you later if we can."

"It okay," Kieren stated, smiling at them. "Go on, don't want you to be late." As they nodded, they walked off with small waves, and JYP directed us to our dorm room.

"Starting tomorrow, you girls will be busy," he stated, unlocking the door. "You'll be learning Korean, dancing practice, we'll be looking at your vocal range as well as training, evaluations, and learning your other abilities. Your schedule from here on will be packed, and you'll be studying and practicing almost 24/7. Seeing as you live in the same building as the boys, you'll probably be coming with them to the main building for practice if time allows."

Listening intently, we walked inside, and were greeted with a messy dorm room. We were quite confused, and even more confused as a girl came running by and stopping abruptly.

"JYP-nim," she stated, bowing quickly. Once he greeted her back, they began conversing, repeatedly motioning to us as we awkwardly glanced at each other. "Hello, I'm Lee Iseul, it's nice to meet you..."

"Ah, I'm Phillips Marcey," I greeted, bowing and knowing to greet by last name.

"I'm Barker Kieren, nice to meet you," Kieren caught on and bowed beside me.

As we stood up, we looked at the both of them confused, until Iseul started to laugh. We looked towards her, and she motioned us inside. Swiftly taking our shoes off, and walking inside we joined them in the main room.

"You can sit down, we have things to discuss anyway," Iseul grinned, plopping onto one of the pleather chairs. Sitting down on a light colored couch under a window, we sat there uncomfortably.

"What's going on?" I spoke up, looking between the older man, and girl.

"Well, after I had viewed the tapes of you girls filming, and hearing the guys request, I decided to not let this oppurtunity pass by," Mr. Park started explaining. "So, showing it to all our trainee girl groups who are scheduled to debut, we let first come, fist serve. Immediately, Ms. Lee spoke up, and said she wanted both of you in her group. Her, and 2 other girls really wanted to work in the same group as you."

"Wait," Kieren spoke, sitting up. "We're already in a group?"

"Yes," Iseul nodded, smiling softly. "The groups name is MAGI. I'm the leader, and you already know my name. Of course, we'll wait for the other girls to come back before we talk more together. We were wanting to know more about you, considering how GOT7-sunbaenim had special request for you, and JYP-nim asked for someone to take you into a group with only hearing you girls sing."

"Um..." I mumbled.

"Your suitcases will be up here in a minute, and Iseul here will show you which room is yours," Mr. Park stated, looking at his phone and walking towards the front door. "All 5 of you will be expected at the JYP building at 6 a.m. on the dot. A van will be here at 5:30, you need to be inside by then. That's all, goodbye girls." With that, he left and shut the door.
